St Louis Republican: The message

able, conservative and statssmanliikss
document which. unlike many other

Presidents message. 1t is plain patri-

presents II common basis of patriotic
craftsmanship on which Republicans

is thoroughly mastered.
New York Commercials Adcertiser ::
President Cleveland's concise. able
and manfully-candid message To tho
newly assembled Fiftieth Congress
can not fail to make profound SEN
sation. The novelty in form and the
unconventional tone of the message,
as well as the urgent and oFershadols-
ing importance of the single topic it
considers, will attract the universal
attention of the Nation to the docu-
ment. Ii we are not mistaken il will
have decisive weight IN the future If
parties and legislation.
Chicago Times Qnd.): The present
communication is the trst example OF
the beginning of the new and better
method of inviting the attention OF
Congress briefly to some suggestions
on a single topic ofleading Importance
on which. in the judgment of the Adj
ADMINISTRATION, legislative cooperation
in certain direction is necessary. or
of high Importance. In eleeting this
course. there is much ground for the
opinion that the timely and excellent
suggestions from the White House will
not be passed over with the customary
Legislative disregard Of suggestions
from the constitutional head of the Re-
public.
